I hate being sick

Well I'm still a bit sick.. feeling about 80% but I did manage to get outside for a half hour and take down some more weeds. I feel like we turn out back and new weeds sprout up moments after we cut them down. We are looking into getter a more heavy duty brush mower type thing. They cost a few thousands but it's going to be like this every year it will be well worth the money.

Glee

Yeah I'm still sick and today I watched the last five episodes of Glee. This isn't a must see show for me and what I mean by that is I will let a few (of in this case 5) episodes build up before watching them. This batch of five had some really great episodes including guest star Olivia Newton John, who I love and it was so great to see her back on TV and re-doing her "Physical" video. Another cool episode was one directed by Joss Weadon and guest starred Neil Patrick Harris which was a lot of fun but my favorite parts of the show is the relationship of Kurt (the gay character) and his father. I think it's a very positive look at a gay youth and his family dealing with it. The music is great but what I love most about this show are the characters.

V

Been sick the past few days and one good thing about that it makes me rest and when I rest I watch TV so I was able to catch up on some of my DVR'd shows. Today I watched the final 2 episodes of V. Now if you've read my blog you know I'm a huge fan of the original and had high hopes for the remake. It started off strong but lost it's way for a few episode but I have to say the final five or so episodes have been AWESOME and that goes for the finale as well. The story is ramping up and so many things are happening. I'm so glad this series was picked up for a second season as they left some great cliffhangers. My favorite character on V is of course Anna (Morena Baccarin from Firefly) She plays such a cold hearted bitch, some of the stuff she does, especially to her own daughter just makes you cringe. I won't put in any spoilers in this blog but man this series had become one of my favorite. Can't wait for the DVD and of course Season Two.

Insomnia

I don't get insomnia very often but man when I get it, I get it bad. It's currently 2:18am I'm exhausted as I had gotten up super early 6am for The Guild shoot yesterday. I don't know what it is my body is very restless as I lay in bed tossing and turning finally getting up around 1am and start pacing the bedroom hoping to get tired. That's didn't work so I'm now on the computer catching up on my blog. On top of the insomnia I think I'm getting sick :(

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Fourteen

Today we were on location once again. Actually there were two locations but I did not go to the second location. But man oh man the stuff they shoot today was some of the funniest stuff I had seen all season. I did manage to get a few more interviews, so that was good. But today is the "last" day of shooting at least for a few weeks... then we will all get back together once again for our "final" shoot day.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Thirteen

Today was a fun day on the set of the Guild season four. I didn't get many interviews done as I wanted but I did get some key ones done so it felt like a productive day for me. It was a very long day on set and we also wrapped out of the location, which means we removed everything and this always takes longer then a "regular" day. We also got our "cast & crew" t-shirts... of course I would love to show them to you but I can't as the image on the front plays a part in season four... so for now they have to stay under wrap.

Only a few more days left for this season and though I will be sad that it will be over I'll be happy as well as I have a ton of audio that I have to sift through and organize for the KOTG "Special Season Four" podcasts.

Lost

Just finished watching the series finale of Lost.. and my first thoughts are that it was good.

I first saw the pilot episode at comic con months before it premiered and I LOVED it. I watched every single episode and though there were some ups and downs, overall I loved every minute of it. I knew whatever ending they did they wouldn't be able to answer all the questions they had posed over the six seasons. Toward the end of Season 6 they answered a few long standing questions but then asked many more new ones.

"The End" (title of the final episode) was very emotional and moving, every time someone would have a flashback to the island and remember events and loved ones made me cry. It was great to see old cast members make a return and overall I was satisfied on how it ultimately ended. But wow, they left way too many unanswered questions and the final scene is still a bit confusing. But I'm sure as the days go by and I read/listen to other people's interpretation I'll have a better understanding of what actually happened.

You made ask how could I like the finale when I didn't understand some of it... well that's LOST!

Yard Work

It's great having 2 1/2 acres of land but man when you have to weed that land it's a nightmare. Both Harry and I have been working on the weeds for the past month.. we go out a few hours a day. Well Harry does it more as he is home more then me. But it's tough work and it seems by the time to finish one section and move on to the next the section you just did has new weeds growing in it. The issue with us is we can' t use any kind of weed control because of the water table (which is our drinking water). So we have to hand pull thousands and thousands of weeds. Today we went to Home Depot and pick up some tools to help us in this battle. We put a good fight but I feel like we are losing. May have to resort to some outside help (a gardener). But for now will put on a good fight.

Editing KOTG Podcast

Today since I wasn't on set of The Guild I was able to work on the latest Knights of the Guild podcast #16 part 2. I want to post it in less then a week so I figured it would be a good idea to actually start editing it. I had done the bulk of editing a few weeks ago but still had to assemble the pieces and then add sfx. I manage to get it all done fairly quick and now I'm just converting the files and then it will be ready for upload.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Twelve

Today I was asked not to come to set as they are shooting in very confined spaces and using a skeleton crew. This is the second time that I was not allowed on set and I have to say that I'm bummed as I always enjoy being on set and as the official podcaster it's fun to watch all the scenes so I can talk about them on the podcast... but with that said I understand production and the craziness that happens with a bunch of people on set and unfortunately I'm probably one of the more expendable crew members. So no Guild for me today but this does free up a day to do stuff around the house.
